I am absolutely loving this ROM (been on board since v7), but I have run into one very odd issue that I can't find info on from this thread. My GPS, which has the solder based hardware fix, works like a charm the first time I try it after flashing any new version of the rom (including going from 10.0 to 10.6), but after that I never see anything again. It can't even see any satellites, let alone get a lock. I've tried rebooting, clearing the agps data, changing the NTP server with FasterFix, enabling, disabling and every other option I could find, but even after leaving the phone sitting still with a clear view of the sky for >5 minutes I see no satellites at all, even when I just had a lock after a few seconds(using the Chartcross GPS test) a few minutes before. Has anyone else seen this or have any ideas?

Other than that, my only issue has been the music stored on my external SD card not playing. Has anyone found a solution for that issue that doesn't involve unmounting/mounting the card and waiting for it to re-scan everything?

Thanks

in system information, kernel version is 3.0.8, in an other topic on xda i have read there is an update, version 3.0.15, which are the difference? and glitch kernel run on ics passion rom??

I'm having the same problem with the GPS. However, I have been able to play music on external SD card with Miui and Google music players without issue.

HC is the Vista and ICS is the Win7 of Android. ICS is read for prime time but I dont think the app developers were ready for ICS.

Try different radios. I have mad signal issues with a lot of radios and found in my area for balanced data/voice signals ka7 rocks. This has been on every from I ever ran and I been on every Eugene and team whisky rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] shreddintyres:
Ok so im gonna do one last update with my experience with this rom since i have now had it running for over 24 hours.

I am running Passion v10.6 with Eugene's ICS streamline kernel

Battery Life: with moderate usage yesterday i had 11 hours of usage i still had 50-60% remaining, (usage includes 30-45 minutes of phone calls, 30-50 texts, limited web browsing, and maybe 10-15 minutes of games)

LAG: very little to none, some experienced on device wake from sleep

Mute/Unmute problem : thus far I have yet to experience this issues, it may be fixed in Eugene's kernel but its too early to tell

GPS: i have yet to try this out as its been raining and i dont have clear line of sight to the sky yet to reliably test

Personally i feel this rom is more than stable enough to run as a daily driver as a personal device, as a business phone I would move to something a bit more tried and true (CM7 or froyo rom). Thank you again to everyone involved with this rom.

and now for my question does any one know if this rom uses the normal boot animation convention as other roms?

-Cheers

Since upgrading from MIUI 2.3.7 , my data has been barely useable. Has this been a problem for anyone elses? on speedtest app I'm getting like 68k DL and I was getting 5.1MB
[Vibrant Android Development] megatherian:
My data has been sucky as well. For whatever reason I almost never get 3g on this rom despite getting solid 3G here with kb5 on other roms. Fortunately I'm on wifi most of the time so I haven't cared that much.

External sd problem

I searched this thread but couldnt really find any help...

I just installed the rom yesterday... Its seriously amazing! I'm actually shocked.

My only problem is that I cant seem to access my Music from my extaernal sd... not too sure if its the same with my pics and stuff but I really just care about my music. Anyone have any answers/suggestions, whatever, please let me know.

Thanks in advance =)

My only gripe with this rom is the camera. The quality is horrible. I tried using a MIUI camera port but that fc'd every time. Hmmm
[Vibrant Android Development] Tigerbalm306:
I had this crazy thing happen to my phone.

I've been using 10.6 fine for days now.

However when I rebooted after charging my battery something crashed and my notification bar/background disappeared. I tried rebooting again and it didn't help so I reflashed.

Anyone know why this happened?
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
leave the bootloaders as they are. if you sell it to someone that wants a "stock" phone they'll never know, and if you sell it to someone that's going to put custom **** on it they'll appreciate the fact you already did that for them.

ICS

looks great i do have a few Questions

Daily Driver ?

Music Mp3 working ?

GPS ?

when will it be live not BETA ?
[Vibrant Android Development] lazyb421:
Did you flash any of the battery mods? Happened to me after flashing them. It doesn't seem to play well with all phones. I had to flash the revert zip.
[Vibrant Android Development] Raistline:
Daily Driver: YES!

Music working: Zero issues for most, only a few people have run into issues but most of them resolve it with re-flash.

GPS: Works just a little bit better than CM7. You have to boot the phone with GPS on and get a lock. Once this is done you can turn the radio off and if you are the lucky half, it will come back on and lock. If you are the unlucky half, you will have to turn Radio on and reboot to get it working. Either way you should have no issues getting a lock. I am and have always been in the unlucky half.
[Vibrant Android Development] shdw03:
Phone has been smooth, but not so great battery life. not sure if I need to adjust some settings, but android sys and androis os taking up half(26% and 25%). most of the time, phone was on standby as well??? maybe wait for a few more charges to see whats up....full charged last night, reboot. woke up this morning and battery was around 70%. only thing that I had running was my alarm.

Also, I feel like I am missing some apps??? Flashed directly to 10.6. Is there something more if I flash 10.0 then 10.6?
[Vibrant Android Development] db3:
did you calibrate? yesterday, i spent 4-5 hours between 14% and 17%. the indicator just kept moving up and down all morning.
[Vibrant Android Development] os2baba:
I don't know about missing apps, but my battery is so-so. Much worse than Bionix. Juice Defender has improved it substantially, but even then, if I were to really use the phone, I doubt it would last 6 hours. And every once in a while it gets laggy. But all in all, this is an excellent ROM. I'm really enjoying ICS. This will hold me for the next few months on the Vibrant and then I'll start looking at the quad core phones that should start appearing in the first half of the year. I really hope HTC comes out with a great phone. I'm done with Samsung. Moto doesn't seem to be making any phones at all for T-Mobile and I hate AT&T. I may have to switch to Sprint, although I'd like to stay with GSM.

Thanks to Neo and gang for giving me some breathing space to decide on my next phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] db3:
I was thinking that no way someone coming from a gingerbread rom could think that the battery life is "so-so" on this. Bionix is froyo so that just proved it.

I ran cm7 and MIUI for a while. cm7 had decent battery life every as long as i didn't use the phone. MIUI just burned through batter in 4-5 hours no matter what. i've been getting 10-12 hours with ICS, which is pretty decent considering we don't have all the samsung drivers to make it efficient.
[Vibrant Android Development] Decepticaons:
Thank you sir! I went and looked at the ICS settings app and there is like 2 things in there, whats that all about?

On a side note, is there a way to get that awesome digital clock/date widget to not show military time?
[Vibrant Android Development] jdcooper:
Had 10.6 running for about 48 hrs so far, I don't experience the mute/unmute bug and the GPS is better than it has been since July 15th 2010. Locks all the time every time! Just lucky I guess...

The only thing I want to change is the pixelated contacts photos. It's a shame this ROM is so crisp but the pictures are mad blurry. Any fix for this? I see Neo's screenshots and they appear to be HD. I want what he's got...
[Vibrant Android Development] jdcooper:
Ha ha. It took you posting this for me to even notice. And it's been the only thing on my home screen,for 2 days now! I'm not sure what that's all about, but I'm going to play around with it. Good looks.

Edit*** remove the widget, find it in widgets tab (typoclock) drag and drop it where you like, then you will get an options screen its the top check box. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Decepticaons:
Lemme know what you find out Im looking to have all the options for ICS, atleast as many as I can.

Another side note. My phone has absolutely zero issues. I added the hacked camera from SGS Tools and I have the power button shutter again, and also the awesome pic quality. I also added the inverted MMS and it looks and works amazing. GPS is fast and very accurate. I constantly have 4G, no mute/unmate necessary and all touch tone buttons work perfect in call. If you have any quuestions or need any pics let me know, this thing is amazing. I havent even gone 1 cycle after resetting battery stats and I am on 14 hrs battery with 30% left. Moderate/heavy use. Cant wait to see what it is like after the 3rd cycle onward. I am yet to change the kernal. Im hoping so see some results from others as to what the other kernals offer. I did happen to run quadrant right after the flash and only pulled a 1353 and then again after overclocking to 1.4 without changing any voltages and only got 1567. I was getting over 2000 on my old Toxic ROM. I know quadrant has no real world value but still thats strage considering this rom feels way faster. Can anyone else get me their scores so I can see if maybe i need to do some tweaking?

the only pics that are blurry are the ones that are automatically connected from my facebook sync. The ones that I attach myself are not blurry. The hacked camera is from SGS Tools app. Ill attach it. Install it, click on upgrade stock apps then click hackedcamera.apk. It will then install itself.

MD5s and default gateways

Well I've done three phones with this thus far. Maybe someone can confirm this, I only noticed it because my wife pointed it out to me - sometimes when wifi comes up the default gateway doesn't get changed so the phone continues to use the radio instead of wifi for communicating. My wife was complaining about netflix being blocky and that seemed to be the problem. On the other hand, my phone wasn't doing it and the phone I just flashed wasn't on wifi. I added it and it appears to be fine. If someone seems to have incredibly slow networking, check it.

I had asked for MD5s of good downloads as a sanity check - if anyone else is looking for them the ICS_NBv10.6.zip MD5s to 43e95a9f1cf90997a4ded833aa53a628

I love this ROM minus random reboots, which may occur once every here and there my biggest issue is wifi. It seems as though my wifi disconnects and speeds slow down. I'm not sure if it's the KB5 modem? Does anyone else have this issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] groggycl:
this rom is amazing. fast and very reliable.

my only concern is battery life. I've seen some guys having like 20+ hours. I can't pass over 11 hours at most. Most of the time I have it on my home over wifi and 2g when going out, 50% brightness. I tried almost no calling and browsing but battery life still very low. I downloaded advanced task killer and my phone is really running a lot of applications.. some of them I never even opened like facebook, maps, gallery, etc...

CPU SPY, tells me 58% of the time (27:18 total) I am at 200mhz and only 24% at deep sleep. could this be the reason? how to deal with it? I don't remember for sure, but I think on other passion version most of the time I was in deep sleep mode...

I almost never play games, youtube and those kind of battery draining apps.

thanks!

That's a work-around, not a resolution. A resolution would actually fix the problem. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty happy with the progress so far, but if you use your phone a lot (I spend a few hours a day on the phone for business reasons), this is a pretty major issue.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

I was pretty disappointed with the camera app. Ugly, counter-intuitive, fewer options... I can't really see any upside to it!
[Vibrant Android Development] gemstocks:
Here is trick I use and the CPU will go to deep sleep 80% of the time (in my case, depends on the way you use the phone.

Download No-Frills CPU Control, change the governor to On Demand and I/O Scheduler to Deadline, if the CPU is still not in deep sleep, change I/O Scheduler to NOOP.

Also download Diagnosis (by DarkShadow) and check to see what's running while the phone is in sleep.

Cheers!

Changing the governor to on demand is basically taking away all the good things from smart ass v2.

Smartass has a really good deep sleep, you just have to make sure that no app is keeping it from going into sleep.

[Vibrant Android Development] ephesus79:
And do you also have the blurry contact pictures? I'm really wanting to get those fixed!

[/QUOTE]

If you set contact pictures on a pre ICS rom, it saved the pictures to your Google contacts in a low resolution format. That was fine because the pictures displayed really small in contacts and the phone app in earlier versions of Android. Those same pictures look horribly pixelated on ICS because it displays the pictures closer to full screen. The only fix is to retake or resave your contact pictures from the original resolution picture. Then, it looks great! Adds a lot more polish to the phone app.

I've had something like this happen to me a few times. In fact, it did last night when I installed ICS Passion 10.6.

Try this:

Hold POWER and VOL DOWN until phone reboots (~10 secs). You will see the Vibrant logo appear. Keep holding both buttons down to make the phone reboot a second time (maybe another 10 secs). When the Vibrant logo re-appears, release the POWER button while continuing to hold the VOL DOWN button. Hopefully, your CWM Recovery will appear now.

Otherwise, you can try pulling the battery, and start all over from power-down.

Good luck.

Automatic Brightness works as the name says

The Issue:

so when Automatic Brightness is enabled, it does automatically brighten up promptly (I used a flashlight). But upon removal of the light source it takes a lot longer (more than a minute) to automatically dim.

The solution:

I noticed the quick solution for this is to turn the screen off and then back on. It will adjust to whatever it senses when it turns back on.

The test:

I tried it with the flashlight pointed at it, and resulted in brighter screen when turned on.

I tried it with no flashlight, and that resulted with dim screen. Both were done in a low lit room.

[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
It sounds to me like your doing everything right. I usually flash a 2.2 ROM before cm7. For me I have fewer problems. You may have to flash cm7 twice in a row and the same goes for this ROM because it may have to flash the correct recovery first and then flash the ROM.
[Vibrant Android Development] Blars1206:
Oh, and make sure you are formatting the system between flashes.
[Vibrant Android Development] Voltage Spike:
Android operation is better than ever, but the new UI is just a trainwreck. It's getting good reviews by the critics, though, so what do I and the other users know...

Hmm, as others have mentioned, I would think this boils down to the installed radio. The reporting of the signal may indicate may be poor, though.

I had the reboot occur, but it was very surprising. I didn't investigate what caused it.

WiFi does have issues on some networks. TKIP, in particular, seems to be a problem. I would guess this is related to the new wpa_supplicant, and you can find code on the Internet that seems to resolve the issue (it hasn't been integrated into AOSP yet, though).

It depends where you are coming from. If you are coming from another mostly-stock ROM, it's about the same (and I think it works better than CM7). If you are coming from a Samsung ROM (such as Bionix), it is far, far worse.
